Introduction

During a presentation, the students will be introduced to the techniques photographers use to capture great nature photographs. This session will include an introduction to the editing of photos to create visual effects.

Photographing nature

Each student will be allocated their own iPad to use and together with their partner, will visit the nature areas of the school to capture a series of nature photographs.

Final edits and display

After capturing their images, the students will select their best images and apply the editing techniques to create their final photo.

The images will be sent to the school to print and display.
